First published in 1785. An early American singing school hymn by Massachusetts composer Daniel Read (1757-1836), with poetry by English hymnodist Isaac Watts (1674-1748). Read was only the second American composer to put out a collection of his own music (after William Billings). This work, The American Singing Book (1785), went through five editions in the years immediately following: unusually successful for its day, making him by number of printings the most popular composer in the nation.
